The NFP Act allows for a system of incorporation "as of right" to replace the existing system of letters patent. An "as of right" system means there is minimal discretion on the part of the Director, appointed under the Act, to determine which organizations can be incorporated. The Director must issue a certificate of incorporation if the required documents (i.e., articles of incorporation and notice of registered office and initial directors) are filed, are in conformity with the Act, and the required fee is paid. This contrasts with the discretion the Minister had under the CCA's letters patent system. The NFP Act also allows for one incorporator, unlike the CCA requirement of at least three incorporators.
